Facts Maybe Only We Find Interesting: Despite their proximity, Georgia Southern and Georgia State have met just five times before with Georgia State leading the series 3-2 … The Eagles won the first game in the series 69-31 in 2014 in Atlanta, but then the Panthers took the next three games, winning 34-7 in 2015 in Statesboro, 30-24 in 2016 in Atlanta and 21-17 in 2017 in Statesboro … The head coaches on Saturday certainly know each other well as Georgia State head coach Shawn Elliott served 13 seasons as an assistant coach at Appalachian State from 1997-2009 … His final nine seasons, Elliott served as the offensive line coach and hired a young tight ends coach in 2001 named Chad Lunsford … Lunsford spent two seasons on the staff at App State before beginning his first stint at Georgia Southern and the two remain friends to the day … The winner of this game earns two points for its department in the annual Southern-State Rivalry Series, which currently is led by Georgia State, 3.0-2.0 …Georgia Southern leads the FBS with six different 100-yard rushers, one ahead of second-place Houston and South Carolina … Seventeen players will be honored prior to the game for Senior Day.
